Maximum Integer and Maximum Floating Point Instances in Python3

Maximum integer in Python

In Python, the maximum value of int can be obtained by sys module. The method used in python2 is

import sys
max = sys.maxint
print (max)

The method used in python3 is:

import sys
max = sys.maxsize
print (max)

Get the maximum floating point number in Python

Method 1: Use the sys module

>>> import sys
>>> sys.float_info
sys.floatinfo(max=1.7976931348623157e+308, max_exp=1024, max_10_exp=308, min=2.2
250738585072014e-308, min_exp=-1021, min_10_exp=-307, dig=15, mant_dig=53, epsil
on=2.2204460492503131e-16, radix=2, rounds=1)
>>> sys.float_info.max
1.7976931348623157e+308

Method 2: Use the float function

>>> infinity = float("inf")
>>> infinity
inf
>>> infinity / 10000
inf
